Israeli cabinet ratifies ceasefire and hostage deal with Hamas

Israel's Cabinet approved on early Friday the outline of a ceasefire and hostage-release deal with Hamas after nearly two years of war.
This step follows months of devastating conflict since Hamas' deadly attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 people and led to 251 hostages taken.
The deal involves Israel freeing approximately 2,000 Palestinian detainees, gradually pulling back its troops from Gaza, and reopening five key border crossings, including the Rafah crossing with Egypt.
Gaza’s Health Ministry reports that over 67,000 people in Gaza have lost their lives and almost 170,000 have been injured as a result of Israel’s military operation, without distinguishing between civilian and fighter casualties.
Hostage and prisoner exchanges are expected to begin Monday, marking a significant move towards ending the hostilities and enabling humanitarian aid delivery.
